Flood in Halo CE was an interesting and unexpected plot twist. I remember in halo OG graphics (which are much darker) fighting the flood was nerve wracking, specially in legendary.
*I swear Hidden Xperia would be the only sentient being on the galaxy the Flood wouldn't **_Dare_** to touch due to the Gravemind fearing looking into his mind...*
TBH with the day and night cycle, being near a forest at night and hearing the screams of the flood echoing in the shadows would be horrifying enough. FLOOD HYPE!
I dont think that would be the best idea because i think it would stray a little to far from a military sci fi shooter which is what halo is but like maybe suprise or a twist of gameplay like ce cause i dont think halo should turn into a horror game
The base game, I'm personally not holding my breath, but I think it's definitely possible, and I dare say probable we could see a dlc campaign about the Flood down the line, though we'll have to see. I'm just curious if in such a dlc, would it use the base game open world, a new more linear environment, or even a new open world environment specifically for this kind of dlc; it'll be very interesting to see what happens

It's weird to think that when you fight against the flood, you (or at least I do) find them annoying, but when you think about it from a Marine's perspective, this is terrifying.
@@natescorner no he's saying the original Xbox version of Halo CE not the Anniversary version or MCC both of which actually use the inferior Gearbox PC port of Halo CE which is why the game feels super janky.
@@sorrenblitz805 I realize he’s talking about the OG Xbox version. I was saying I find the 360 version of CEA easier than the OG. I know the gearbox version is inferior in the way you point out. I wasn’t denying that.
That introduction actually made the flood for the first time to me genuinely terrifying because that part where the marine realizes the head is upside down and it made facial expressions such as fear and sadness, that means you don't die at all you are still in there as you are helpless to do anything even as you watch fellow soldiers get slaughtered and the only thing you have to look forward to is death as you wait for mind to degrade. that is horror.
well, no, you absolutely die. i’m assuming that that part was either aftershocks of the last moments of the marine’s life, or written in a more metaphorical sense, as in the main character realizing that they’re looking at someone who was once human but is no longer.
See, this is the reason why next to nothing will ever approach the flood in sheer fear factor. Outside of the opening and gameplay of the first time you play world at war Nacht der Untoten, nothing will ever approach how terrified the flood can get me or your average gamer.
This man spitting facts. Nacht der untoten was so crazy because like the flood in halo, the majority of players had no clue it was gonna be in the game.

@@shadowNooob except gen 2 system would make anything mute as they have a cap...nvm that said spartans 4 are still military/odst and or former spartans tho the later is rare.
I wonder if Seargant Johnson can be infected at all, or if he is just highly resistant to the weakened version that infected the rest of his squad because of his "borenn syndrome".
The spores are a massive plot problem realistically speaking from a story telling perspective... where they sort of wrote themselves into a corner because the way they are described make it literally impossible to write the story. Spores cause several issues in continuity, with canon stories... which is why my head canon is that the spores are a last resort infection attempt, when all other means of infection have failed, they are released from the final infection form's corpse in the area once it is terminated. Then these spores slowly infect any near by living creature. Once the released spores from the prior "last" infection form, succeed in infecting a host, it's remains stop producing spores in favor of a preferred form of infection, like a combat, or infection form. It's 1:26 am so apologies if this is jumbled.
Ok something I dont understand, once the flood infection form infects a host, why doesnt it just leave? If spores and body fluids can infect people and turn them without an infection form then why do host die if an infection form dies? Like is this just a plot hole since they introduced spores? Flood combat forms that are infected by infection forms just seem weaker than those who were infected by other means since if the infection form dies so does the host. Doesnt make sense to me.
@@zachhowe98 I think technically spores, or other means of infection can't produce a active combat form by itself. It would first convert the host creatures flesh into flood biomass and then create infection forms from that, which it would then turn the remaining body into a combat form if necessary, being piloted by an infection form. If that^ Isn't how it works, then yes it's just another in the long list of flood spores cause plot holes and issues.
The flood is just so evil and dark Gracemind to Arby n Chief: We are Peace, unity, brotherhood, an everlasting chorus Gracemind to everything alive: BURN An everlasting chorus of pain! 😭
Man that opening and naritive was amazing ! A Shear perfection of a mind knawing experience with all the horror that comes with it. I applaud you. Imagine witnessing that same situation in infinite as John 117 or as a marine or an odst in a halo infinite horror spin off.
I could not do anything for Halloween because of the lock down but when i looked at the timestamps and saw narrative asmr it made my night. Also that intro was terrifying dude.
This may be a bit off-topic, but wouldn't Covenant weapons be super effective against the Flood? Plasma weapons that burn away necrotic flesh(shielded or not) would be, in theory, the best way for regular infantry to combat the Flood forms.
Well yeah, in theory Covenant Plasma weapons would most likely be the best option for countering Flood, but still the Marine weapons' bullets would still rip them apart.
@@thaddeusyoung6061 Depends on the weapon though. Remember, shotguns are a one-hit kill, and sniper rifles are almost completely useless, and all of them need different types of ammo. Meanwhile, the Covenant all use the same plasma fuel source for all of their weapons, meaning EVERY weapon carries the same advantage.
Well to be honest the covenants weapons are kinda bad. They get the job done but alot of them overheat. Putting the gunplay to a temporary halt. Leaving u open for an attack from one of them.
@@somedudewhodraws9377 as opposed to having to reload human weapons? You can avoid overheating a plasma weapon, but you can’t avoid running out of bullets...
I've been watching you since you had around 10k and am part of the discord, just wanted to say how great your videos are. This was definitely different but absolutely amazing!
Man, I love your voice 💕💕💕💕 Its so good and literally listening to this with my eyes closed I felt like that marine, can we please get more of your narration plz
Bruh, the Flood is something else. I thought infection forms stabbed the nervous system, left flood cells in the nervous system, then went to go infect someone else. But to hear that they actually dig into the host, and take residence inside the chest cavity. That's metal. God damn do I love Halo.
Imagine an alien isolation type video game against the flood. maybe only a single infection form got on to your civilian research ship, managed to infect someone, and found a quiet place to turn into a pure form to start picking off the crew and producing spores. Gameplay loop would be about expanding your playable area by eliminating flood spores using science and the air filtration of the ship, while dodging the prowling pure form as it wanders, until you can repair a damaged old mjolnir mk 1 that the ship uses as a glorified forklift, outfitting it with chemical flamethrowers, and turning the tables on the pure form after hours and hours of tense atmospheric stealth and body horror. I feel like that could really sell the true horror of the flood. halo players are used to seeing individual infection forms, small pure forms, and single combat forms as totally trivial, but seeing them from the POV of a normal ass human would be truly gut wrenchingly terrible, and I think they deserve to have that explored.
Happy Halo ween. As for this very horror story. Jesus Christ man. Now that is a story. I wouldn't want to live it. Gave me chills just watching this. What was the sentence that proto gravemind said to keys. We all ready do. Then ends him. The sound of that proto gravemind was chilling and just very eary. This was again well done.

That story had me squirming at the end like man. I've never read any of the halo books except fall of reach and Thursday War so I have no idea what a flood infection is described like. That was terrifying in its own way. Not outright scary like a jump scare but the slow and inevitable dread that creeps and builds. The flood are damn terrifying and I don't think anything could ever beat them.
Awesome! That was so good, thank you so much for doing this. I really hope 343 brings them back. Of course I still have questions. But I'm satisfied for now. Again thank you for this!
Eh personally I like both series. Necromorphs (the brethren moons more accurately) are a lot more lovecraftian while the flood are more "down to earth" so to speak. At least this is for the early stages. In later stages they become powerful enough to manipulate reality itself. Now that's an utterly terrifying and godlike enemy to face.

Installation 00: 31:46, starts with narrative ASMR
Me: thank the precursors
As amazing as this video was in terms of lore content, I'm probably going to have nightmares after watching this. Seriously though, great video!
I think you should do another one of this in the summer time. Would be a great scary story to listen too
Damn, that beginning is legendary
I know its late but this "Asmr" story style in the beginning is just amazing would love to see more of that
And I had to listen to this after replaying the library and guilty spark from CE. Talk about timing.
The pin is mightier than the sword and the flood makes that very clear to you that knowledge is power
What's scary is that something like the flood could exist. Space is so massive and im sure they do exist, it's just that we haven't encountered them yet.. I hope I'm gone before we encounter that species.
What if they ARE real, and they are the reason for the Dark Forest Theory?
I’ll do this later tonight for the absolute spook
Its terrifying the implications that the flood take your very soul. There is no escape even in death.
That was amazing. Thank you so much for your videos
PERFECT timing on this video, homie.
Great video, especially the opening. Really grabbed me. Thanks!
Such a haunting introduction. If I could mod/animate Id make this a fan cutscene
Everyone before Infinite: I hope the Flood will show up
Infinite: (gets a Teen rating)
Everyone after Infinite: They "are" in the game technically
Me: It's a texture file in a hidden area. Wowee.
Man that intro really scared me
I'd like to see halo have nanites developed as a way to fight flood, but only if given in seconds after infection given speed of infection
That was an INCREDIBLE intro!!!!!
They should make a game similar to that Alien vs Predator game from ages back; except you get to play as; Spartans/ODSTs, Sanghelli or flood.
That introduction was crazy. Good video
"Living" through a flood infection is probably more accurate to what this should have been named.
Can someone please make that intro into a short film please? We need a flood film
well, im not going to sleep for the next week.
You have a great voice for this kind of stuff. Who else thinks he should do readings of the halo books? I would pay to listen to you read them like audible. Great work mate.
It’s you I like and I like you just the way you are you make each day special day by just you being you and the best person you can ever be is your honest self!
The beauty of Halo. The first person shooter to make it perfect. Amazing story and lore. Great multi-player fun. One of the best horror games to not try and be. I'll never forget the first time I encountered the flood. Chaos. Don't let them leave the ring.
They need to make a Flood survival horror game. Where we play as an augmented Marine/ODST. Customizable gear and equiptment with Flood forms from both the main games and Halo Wars games.
How a creepy pasta starts in the universe of Halo
Player: "may peace be with you."
Keymind: "Always"
Btw I could tell that in the intro all the things were kind of in sync with the music which I think is really cool 😎
